Seems this offer is back albeit with less lucrative details. Max 20,000pt bonus and only given in 5,000pt instalments at the end of every 3 months. https://www.optus.com.au/qantasplans?utm_source=qantas&utm_medium=ps&utm_campaign=aprbau I’d be open to switching back to Optus for some points...

Introduction The NoNames have just returned from what can only be described as an exhausting trip over the northern winter and as the rules of the forum state, a trip report is compulsory. Well that’s what I’m going with to justify spending hours writing and compiling photos in order to ensure...

Quick one for the brains trust. Have had a short LH flight cancelled and automatically rebooked for the next day approx 16 hours later. Obviously will be making a claim for compensation under EU261 however am I also entitled to cancel the booking for refund given the unsuitability of the change...

Have tried searching but can’t find anything. However, apologies if it has been asked previously. Happy to put that down to poor searching skills. :p Looking at possibly booking an award SIN-KUL-DXB. Approx 5hr transit in KUL and transferring from MH-EK (only realistic QFF option I can find to...

Unsure how long this has been going but just popped up on my social media feed. Seems to expire on the 17th. $99/mth with the 60,000pts credited after 3 months. Seems a reasonable deal. I vowed never to go back to Optus after a previous issue but considering switching for 3 months for this...

Introduction In June 2012, Mrs NoName & I were married at Four Seasons in Singapore and embarked on a 5 week honeymoon in Europe and NYC. Oslo, Prague, Paris, London & NYC! We had a fantastic time together seeing sites and experiences. It was a truly memorable time! We had booked everything...

THIS IS BIG! The time is now! The stars have aligned and anyone without an AMEX in their pocket have hit the jackpot. Of course I'm talking about – The AMEX Explorer Card! The big sign up bonus is back! Correction: It is not back! This is unprecedented! We have seen a slightly higher bonus...

Well the world may be coming to an end but that doesn’t mean that credit card sign up bonuses have to as well! Presenting….. The David Jones AMEX Platinum Card – brought to you by my very own referral link: DJs AMEX Platinum - Referral Link Sign up by 8 April for an excellent 60,000 Amex MR...

Anyone signed up to this at all? Saw it pop up on Facebook a couple of times so took a quick look and haven’t been able to find any actual spend requirement (may have missed it). 8,000 velocity points for joining. Appears to be some kind of truck/machinery spare parts company. Promo has been...

Does anyone have any experience with applying and being approved for but not actually taking out/activating a card? Specifically how it affects your eligibility for sign up bonuses? Background: Mrs NoName has gone rogue and applied for the DJs AMEX in store without consultation. Obviously I...

Thumb twiddling and general procrastination has meant that it is now 6 months since I took this trip. With only a couple of months until another northern summer it seems appropriate to finally get around to reporting back to the forum. So without further adieu I give you USA Reloaded.... We...

Hi all, Just received an email notification of a change to my fight on Air Vanuatu BNE-VLI at the end of June. Assuming the flight has been cancelled as they have rebooked us on another flight 24hrs later. This seems like an unacceptable change to me. What are my options likely to be here...

Looking for suggestions on how best to approach this. Hired a car from LAS a few weeks ago and added a GPS at pickup. It was some unit in cell phone rather than your traditional Garmin or whatever. Lady at the desk confirmed that it would work in areas without cell coverage which was very...

This may well be a stupid question so apologies in advance. I have a booking from LAX-LAS on AA booked with QFF Pts. Emailed itinerary has booking listed as confirmed. In the manage booking section of the QF side (as well as emailed itinerary) the departure time is 10:35am. If I search the QF...

The NoNames have just returned from Italy and it would be remiss of me not to report back to the forum. And so...... So the trip was a bit more localised and a bit less Griswald-ish than the first part of the title would indicate but as we all know, drawing a crowd of gawkers to ensure maximum...

Looking at SFO-EWR in F and see they have flights on either a 777-200 or 757-200 (mainly the latter). Looking at all the different seat maps on Seatguru hurts my head. Which ones should I be looking at in this case? Does anyone have any experience on one of these transcon routes and can offer...

I received this promo in the mail a few weeks ago and have just confirmed that it is still available. 20,000 pt bonus for new life policies. Pts credited up to 8 weeks after the first premium is paid although they told me generally it will credit within a week. First month premium is waived...

I know there is the requirement to declare if you are carrying more than $10k when leaving Australia but what is the actual process when doing this? Is it simply a matter of telling immigration how much you have and the reason and then you are on your way? Or is it likely to involve more than...

Just saw this on the AMEX website. T&C says correct as at 15 Nov so assuming it's only happened today? If it's already been posted somewhere mods feel free to delete. https://m.americanexpress.com/au/content/frequent-flyer-cards/qantas-ultimate/ At $450 annual fee with a free domestic flight...

Currently looking at refinancing a home loan and wanting to know people’s experience with getting banks to throw in anything to sweeten the deal, specifically frequent flyer points. I know NAB have their 250k velocity point offer so not really talking about them in this case. As an example...
